Dear UK readers,
Looks like this is going to be the first weekend for ages with decent
winds, esp on the South coast and in the SW. Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Is anyone heading for the coast? If so, then where?
Good sailing!
Cheers, John R

Here on the east coast of Ireland I have had my eye on that low for a few
days. It does look good, and I've reorganised my weekend appropriately.
Does anyone else (UK/Ireland) suspect that this October was the least
windy since <some impressively long time ago>?

My last good sailing was in May. Here's hoping the season starts tomorrow!

More or less the same comments apply for Denmark. Sunday was excellent
- at last.

I was out with my 3.5m wave sail (fwiw I weigh 80kg) for only the
second time this year. The only problem is that it felt so damded
cold 5C (not counting wind chill) -- which in this wind-strength (+
on-shore mushy waves) feels like "survival" conditions.

Here's to more of the same,

Dave.

Yes, Saturday worked for us. The wind direction wasn't great, but even
being nicely powered on a 5.4 and blasting was a real treat after so long.
After the initial painful reheats my hands lasted OK, and we hardly noticed
the rain.

Hear, hear. Our college club is off to Lough Derg this coming weekend,
and are hoping for a repeat of last year where the novices had a nice day
on Saturday, and we got a real gale on the Sunday, allowing the rest of us
to show off.

South coast lived up to expectations, providing 4.5-5m Southerly on Sturday,
and then 3.5m NWesterly on Sunday, and probably quite a bit warmer than
Denmark! Here's to more depressions....
